He really did change. His lumpy, round face has changed in this sinister, big-nosed cracked thing. I can’t even discribe it, but the change is lovely, only his nose is a bit more squarish here. Lovely anyway.

It seems to me like much more changed that the sudden addition of color. The art style seemed to change as well… very suddenly going from cartoonist simplicity to heavily detailed complexity.

perhaps it’s just in my head. But it makes me wonder if the slow refinement from cartoonishness to semi-anatomically correct macabre-ness is a really a result of the artist(s) getting better or if it was planned that way to match up with what amounts to the ultimate destruction of steins goofy inner child (which was perhaps the one thing keeping him in colossal douche bag territory rather than irredeemable monster territory).

Heh, regardless… seems like its gonna be all down hill from here kiddies.
